What guests think

Tavistock Hotel draws consistent praise for its excellent Bloomsbury location and welcoming staff, while recurring drawbacks include very small, often warm rooms due to no air conditioning and noticeable street noise in some park- and road-facing rooms.

Breakfast is frequently highlighted for variety and quality, and the on-site bar and Indian restaurant are well liked. Rooms are described as basic or dated but have comfortable beds; Wi-Fi and water pressure vary, and bathrooms are often compact. Overall, expect a generally clean, good value base near transport, best outside hot weather or with a quieter, courtyard-facing room.

We thought the Tavistock gave very good value for money, given that it is a London hotel in walking distance from St Pancras, King’s Cross and Euston stations. From our experience and previous reviews, the rooms are quite small, but adequate. If you are staying in hot weather, be aware that there is no air on in the rooms, though a fan is provided. After reading about this, we requested and were given a first-floor room, rather than risking higher floors, which have been described as hotter still. The breakfast choices were excellent, with a wide range of fresh hot and cold foods available. I’d say that if you can’t find something you like there, it’s you that’s the problem, not the hotel! We were impressed by the willingness of the Hotel to store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out. This was systematically done, with a formal receipt for the bags matched to tags on the bags themselves. Staff were exceptionally accommodating and happy to accede to reasonable requests rather than ‘upsell’ everything; eg after eating out one night we just wanted two soft drinks in the bar to sit and chat - we had a soda water and a blackcurrant squash for £2.90 - in London! Note that there is a water chiller to fill your water bottles for free at the end of the bar, too.

Arguably the worst hotel I've stayed at. First day one of the two elevators was out of service. The floors of the hallways creaked on every step. The rooms were hot and the window only opened very little. When asked if the window could be opened more the desk said they would send someone to remove the safety lock but nobody ever showed up. The floors also creaked in the room above, so all night and morning you can hear people moving above. The worst part was having a room DIRECTLY above a bowling alley bar. Loud and obnoxious drunks all night till 2 in the morning every night and the security outside did not care at all, no attempts to try and calm or quiet the individuals.

I have a gluten allergy and the chef came out to speak with me about it as I ordered dinner. Great service! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

2 night stay. The hotel is in a good location, the staff we encountered (reception, bar, breakfast service) were all friendly, helpful and attentive. The breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of options and drinks available. The bar was very relaxed with the whole hotel having a bit of an Art Deco feel to it. Only slight (and this is minor) downside was that the room had no air conditioning, although a desk fan was provided for use in the wardrobe.

This is the 4th or 5th time I've stayed here and won't stay anywhere else in London. It's perfectly located from Euston and walking distance to all the key tourist attractions. The rooms are cleaned regularly, the breakfast is spot on for setting up for the day. I'd say that my only gripe this time was the room was maybe a little small, as I banged my head on the wardrobe right next to my bed a couple of times, but this is just a niggle. I'm already looking at booking again for next November/December in the build up to my 40th.

Room was tiny and nothing like the photos advertised of a double park room. The room was unbearably hot and as facing the street too loud to keep the windows open. The bathroom had black mould all over the tiles and only 2 options for water temperate in the shower scalding hot or ice cold. The housekeeping office was outside the room so could hear people talking/laughing/smashing around early till late. Decor very dated and really needs money and time spent on this hotel to make it remotely worth the hefty room fee.

The reason that I have marked down the hotel so much is that we were on Woburn Place (A4200) side of the hotel. There is no air conditioning so it was necessary to have the window open (the opening was restricted for safety reasons). We therefore did not have the best night's sleep because of the traffic noise and particularly the continual emergency service sirens. The hotel was clean but a little tired.

While the lobby and staff are nice, the walls of my room were super thin so I could hear everything in the room next to mine (snoring, talking, coughing). Additionally, my room was broadly clean, but I kept finding little stray trash items (tags, bobbypins) that had been left behind by the previous guest(s).

Room was small but functional. The double bed was a small double but it was absolutely fine for one person and one night. The room is a little dated with a 80's style carpet in the room and the bathroom was compact but again, very fine for one night & one person. The staff were lovely and the location is perfect and the room even came with a fan for warm nights so its a solid 3.5/5 in my book.

Although the weather was good while we were in London we could not keep the window open at night due to the traffic noise.

Unfortunately, the end of my stay turned into an unpleasant experience. After checkout, I deposited my luggage at the hotel, but when I returned to pick it up, it was broken. The employee Ifti took my email address and assured me he would follow up. Three days later, I have received no response, and my emails remain unanswered. Mistakes can certainly happen, but the way this situation was handled is simply unacceptable.

Wonderful experience!! Localization excellent, breakfast fantastic, people at the hotel so friendly!! But at the ckeck-in it was not a good experience: we arrived in August 11, and the girl was non simpatic, she was so rude, did not wait even for filling the reception questions. We were waiting almost 30 minutes for the check-in, and when I asked again if it was ok, she was so rude saying that we should wait without any questions, but for other customers, many of them, as they arrived the check-in was perfect.....we have noticed it.....in my opinion, her behavior must be reviewed. For the whole week we have been at Tavistok hotel we did not have any inconvinience at all, but of course we have avoided to ask her anything....... During that week, from August 11 to August 18, some days we have noticed the same problem with other customers, with the same girl....people were talking out loud at the reception.... It's a real shame, because the Hotel itself, and the others employees were fantastic!!

First stop in the UK after flying into LGW. The Tavistock is an inexpensive black cab ride away from a major rail terminal with service to and from LGW. Early check-in was available. Great staff and right in Bloomsbury - history, dining, everything. You are in a downtown hotel - so city noise will be there, but that is the price of being so central. A true 5 star for value and location.

The property is in a very desirable location. The food was awful, I’ve had stomach cramp since which I believe was due to the chicken and mushroom pie. The pastry was hard and in hind side although it had been cooked likely it was frozen and had been frozen for too long. This causing (when it was cooked it was chewy and stale). I left most of it. The vegetables were stone cold. The portion of vegan cottage pie was so tiny my friend had to order another meal!. On the up side, the cottage pie was half refunded and a complimentary drink was offered by the staff, they were very good; I felt sorry for them as it wasn’t their fault.
